Hey! I've decided to do a little makeover for the Sabres! Work with the logo, jerseys and mixed the colors of the actuals uniforms, just for fun. Tell me what you think!

:D

Most Sabre fans dislike the goat's head logo so I'm not sure this would be very popular.

The alternate looks alright though.

Doesn't work for me, to be honest.

1. Let's keep in mind that the team's nickname is the Sabres. It's bad enough that they made the buffalo head the focal part of the current package, but with the skull (is it even a buffalo?), it's extended past the point where it makes a cute play on the city's name. Now it's just cryptic.

2. The white jersey makes me think New Jersey Devils. Red & black should not be the Sabres' colors, when blue and gold was a classic and wonderful combination. Red & black reminds me of the scumbag Rigas family and the disputed goal in the Cup finals. The sooner they return to blue & gold, the happier I'd be.

3. The choice of numeral font is anything but what a team from Buffalo would be wearing.

On the good side, the alternate logo ("B/sword") is what SHOULD be their primary crest.

"Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."

In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

Yea, the red uni with that B logo looks pretty good. Although I already love the red alternate they have now with the crossed swords logo. The logo used for the home and away just doesn't really work for me.

Err...I think this'd be better of for a Texas team, personally.

The steer skull reminds me too much of the Wild West and not New York.

DAMMIT! Gotta slow down my posting! Only a few more until the big 1K.

By the way, the home jersey would be the dark jersey, and the away jersey would be the white jersey. Besides that I dont really like it too much. Font is bad, the logo is kinda weird. I like the idea of the alternate but it still needs some work.

I was just thinking: can someone do a Sabres concept with their current logos (preferably the crossing blades) with their old colors (royal blue and gold) ? I think that would look really cool, but alas, my abilities as a concept-maker are quite limited.

Blue and Gold Sabres concept, huh?

Those are just the recent ones with working image links.

Stick around and maybe you'll see an Islanders concept using the lighthouse as the crest.

i really like them, except the logo and the number font. i'd use their current crossblades logo, and put a buffalo on it to be like the old one. if you made the circle red and the buffalo black or silver, that'd be sweet.

and just use their current number font. the jerseys though are really nice.

The Sabres have the best uniforms in the NHL as they are.

The ONLY change I would make are their alternates....which suck.

Lies, and damned lies!

The current home & away are the biggest injustice a team's identity has ever seen.

The alternate is light years better, and would serve as a great templte for the team to return to its real colors.
